further object is to providean improved machineA capable of automatically playing, or reproducing and discharging one, or a series oi' selected records. Additional objects of my invention are to produce an improved automatic machine which can be started automatically by the mere insertion of the record or records in the machine, and one which permits new records to be supplied to it, or certain of the records previously selected to be removed from it, or to'be replaced, all while the machine is in operation. Still further objects -are to provide an improved automatic machine adapted to be automatically set as records are inserted` therein, to reproduce automatically all r ords therein, and one which is also adjustable at the will of the operator to change the setting at any time during the operation of the machinato start or stop the machine, or to-reject records, as well as an improved machine wherein the condition of the machine is indicated clearly at .all times in a new and improved manner. Other objects of my invention include the provision of improved mechanisms functioning tobring about Y the playing or reproduction of a record or a series of records including improved means for adjusting the machine for records of diierent sizes, an improved record magazine, improved "record releasing and feeding mechanisms, im-

proved reproducer adjusting mechanism, improved record discharging means,l improved set ting and indicating mechanisms, and various iniproved controlling means associated with the several mechanisms. Still other objects include the provision of a simple construction embodying the combined mechanisms so compactlydisposed and ruggedly constructed that it may be manufactured cheaply, installed in a convenient form in a cabinet of relatively small size, and operated over a long period without danger to derange-l ment of its mechanism. These and other objects and advantages of my improved construction will,

" however, hereinafter more fully appear.

In the accompanying drawings I have shown for purposes `of illustration one embodiment which my invention may assume in practice.

In this illustrative construction I have shown a mechanism oi' vertically compact form located above a suitable machine motor 1 and disposed in planes above and below a rotating table 2 rotat- 30 'able by that motor on an, upright axis;v a sound box 3 being adapted to move across a record on the table 2 and improved means hereinafter described being provided whereby `a record or a series oi' records dropped from' a magazine at the 3 left of the table (Fig. 2) may be supplied laterally to the right to the table 2, reproduced, and disl charged therefrom to the right as indicated in dotted lines in Fig. 2, and whereby the machine and the several mechanisms thereof may be controlled, all in an improved manner.

Referring to the general structure more specifically, it will be noted that the mechanism is, generally speaking, disposed very compactly verti- I-lerein, the table 2 rotates with a shaft 4 45 extending upward from the motor, being disposed on the upper end oi this shaft and above a main casting 5 supported on the motor casing andalso above a flat main plate or base 6 supported on the main casting 5. It will also be noted that the major portion of the operating mechanism is so disposed Abeneath the base 6 as to be covered thereby, and that the small amount of mechanism disposed. above the base is, furthermore, disposed in substantially the planes of movement of the reproducer sound box 3 in such manner as to produce the vertically compact machine mentioned. Attention is alsoI directed to the fact that the mechanism below the base 6 is compactly disposed vertically, being disposed substantially between the base 6 and the plane of the top of the motor 1, while the latter is also of vertically compact type, these features further acting to increase the vertically compact character of the mechanism.

In this construction, improved mechanism is provided for enabling the machine to operate upon records of different size, as, for example, ten or twelve-inch records, at the option of the operator, and as the preparation of the machine to operate on records of a given size may be a preliminary to the use of the machine, this mechanism will be first described.

Herein it will be noted that improved record guiding means are provided above the base 6 and at each side of the table 2. This means includes a pair of record guiding members 7 which extend longitudinally in parallel relation. Each of these members '7 has a horizontal base portion or flange resting on the base 6 and an outer vertical upstanding ange adapted to engage the records and extending up above the top of the table 2. As shown, thc horizontal flange of each of these members 7 is also provided with a plurality of depending pins 8 disposed at opposite ends thereof and movable therewith, and each having a suitable projecting washer adapted to move in a diagonal slot 9 formed in the base 6, these slots 9 g herein extending outwardly and toward the left from the member 7, with the slots on each side of the table 2 in parallelism. Herein, one of the pins 8 is connected to the extreme left-hand end of each member 7, kas shown in Fig. l., while the other pin is connected to its member 'I 'slightly farther from its opposite end. Thus it will be noted that means are provided whereby the member 'I may be moved from the full-line to the dotted-line position shown in Fig. 1 in such manner as to adapt them to guide records of diierent diameter to the table 2.

Cooperating with these adjustable guides 7 is an improved adjustable magazine, likewise adapted to accommodate records of different size. Herein, one element of this magazine requires no adjustment and comprises an upright rotating chain 10 forming a record support and movable about a lower sprocket 11 and an upper guide roll 12, both carried on a suitable support, hereinafter described, and also operatively connected to record releasing mechanism, likewise hereinafter described. Here it will be sufficient to say that this chain mechanism l0 is disposed slightly to the left'of and adjacent the axis of the table 2, as shown in Fig. 2, so that it presents a series of record supporting means adapted to support a series of records, as shown in'Fig. 2. As shown in Figs. 1 and 2, the magazine mechanism also includes a cooperating record support 13 carried on an upstanding member 14 suitably spaced to the left from the chain 10. Herein the member 13 is round (Fig. 2) with a reversely tapering portion of reduced diameter between its ends (Fig. 1), and thus forms a support for the opposite edge of a record supported on the bottom link of the chain 10, as shown in Fig. 2, especially adapted to permit the release of the bottommost record when the chain 10 is actuatedas hereinafter described, and also to direct the record laterally toward the table. This member 13 is herein also laterally movable to adapt it to cooperate with records of different size, the same moving with the member 14 when the latter is adjusted to the right or left in a suitable longitudinal slot '14* in the base 8, as indicated by full and dotted lines in Fig. 2. y ,f

It will also be noted that improved means are provided whereby an adjustment of the member 14 to accommodate records of different size is caused to be transmitted tothe guides 'l heretofore described, to cause a corresponding adjustment of the latter. member 14 is moved from the full-line to the dotted-line position shown in Fig. 2, or vice versa, a longitudinally extending member 15, disposed beneath the base 6, is moved longitudinally therewith and carries with it a crossbar 16 having transverse slots 1'1 in its outer ends, likewise adapted to receive the pins 8. Thus, for example, when the member 14 is moved two inches outward in the slot l14, i. e. to the dotted-line position shown in Fig. 2, to accommodate a twelve-inch or other than a ten-inch record, the crossbar 16 is caused to move from the righthand dotted-line position shown in Fig. l to the left-hand dotted-line position shown therein, and consequently causes the members 7 to move from the full-line positions illustrated in Fig. 1 to the dotted-line positions shown therein. It will also be noted that a spring pressed ball 15a 'carried by the base 6 and adapted to seat in holes 15b longitudinally spaced in the bottom of the member 15,

'serves to hold that member definitely in either position. Attention is also directed to the fact that each of the members '7 carries an upstanding guide 18 at its left-hand end, which likewise moves in and out with the members 7 and functions with the chain 10 and member 13 in positioning the records of different sizes, one of these members 18 being shown to be pivoted, for a. purpose hereinafter described.

Attention is also directed to the fact that improved adjustable feeding mechanism is provided adapted to cooperate with records of different size and also to be adjusted with the member 15 heretofore described. This feeding mechanism being later more fully described, it is sumcient here to state that it includes spaced rotatable wheels 89 also movable bodily within the limits of longitudinal slots in the member 6 as the member 15 is moved with the member 14, and A 1that these wheels are adapted to feed the records laterally onto the table 2 (Fig. 2) after their release from the magazine, while their movement with the member 15 is such as to adapt the wheels 89 to cooperate with records of different size. Herein, the member 15 is operatively connected to this record feeding mechanism by a substantially V-shaped member 15. This, in turn, has its arms connected to part 92 and slidable through the casting 5 to accommodate records of different size, and its opposite end is so connected to the member 15 by resting in a slot 15d therein, that the wheels are moved back one inch when the member 14 is moved two inches, while nuts 15 on the ends of the member 15 engage the casting 5 to position the parts. 'I'hus it will be noted that the feeding mechanism is also enabled to cooperate with records of different size and automatically adjusted when the member 15 is adjusted, as above described.

Associated with the size adjusting mechanisms described is also improved means for automatically adjusting the throw or swing of a sound arm 3a, which carries the sound box 3, in order that the same may cooperate with records of dif- Herein when the upstandingy .i'erent diameter. i Herein', -a variation in swing oi the sound arm 3'i about its axis 23 is eected by automatic means connected to the adjustable guides 7, and more particularly tothe pin 8 which is disposed adjacent the sound arm 3 when the latter is in its outermost position. Here, it will smaller record the projecting end 25 of the member 24 will limit the swing by being swung across the end of an arcuate slot 28 formed in the base 6 and'itself forming a passageway for a, pin'or arm 29 (Figures 6 and 11) depending from the sound arm 3a at a point between its ends V(Figs. land 3), while when the guide is adjusted ifor a larger record the end 25 will be swung away to Vpermit the desired longer swing of the reproducer.

Thus it will be observed that when through the mechanism heretofore described the guides 7 are adjusted, the right-hand pin aon the upper guide 7 shown in Fig. 1 actuates the member '24 in such manner asV automatically to shorten the length of swing of the sound arm 3n when a 10-inch. record is to be played or reproduced, or automatically to lengthen the swing of that arm when a 12inch record is to be played or reproduced.

operatively connected with the mechanisms heretofore described is also an improved setting and indicating mechanism so connected as to be adapted. upon the operation of a single conveniently operable control member, to move each of the members 7, 13, 89 and 25 to adjust them simultaneously for records of different size, and also to serve as an indicating Vmeans indicating the record size for which the machine is adjusted at any time. Herein this controlling mechanism includes a rotatable control member 19 which, as shown in Fig. 2, is suitably journaled on the top of the base 6 at one side, and herein to the left, of the member 14. This member 19 herein carries an indicator 20 and a knob 21 whereby the indicator may be rotated, herein from one position opposite an indication to another indication 12, these numerals being suitably fixed to the top of the base 6 and indicating the different predetermined record sizes. Herein the' member 19 is also pivotally connected to a downwardly extending rod 22 under the base 6, which, as shown in Fig. 2, extends to the right from the member 19 to the iront end oi the member 15 previously mentioned. Thus, it is made possible by simply turning the pointer on the member 19 from a position opposite the numeral 10" to 'a position opposite the numeral 12, to make all the required adjustments of the members 7, 13, Si) and 25 to adapt the machine for twelve-inch records as distinguished from ten-inch records, or vice Versa, while a glance at the indicator 20 will disclose the record size for which these parts are adjusted at any given time.

Assuming that the machine has been adjusted to operate on records of the desired size, let us next consider how a record is inserted in the magazine comprising the chain 10 and members 14,-

13 and 18. Here it will be noted that the chain 10 presents a plurality of laterally extending vertically spaced record supports on its left-hand side (see Fig. 2), ten such supports 30 being there provided between the sprocket 1 1 and member 12 and one being carried on each chain link. Thus, if'desired, an operator wishing to ll the magalthe size of the record.v

zine may swing down the :member 184,(Figs. 1 and 2), i'; e.'A move it from the full-line tothe dottedline position shown in Fig. 2, and then insert ten records fromthat side, with the bottommost record supported on the top of the member 13 and on the bottommost member 30, and each of the upper records supported at the left-hand side on the next lower record and at the right-handside on the next higher member 30. Thus it will be evident that the magazine may be filled from the side with any suitable numberl of records, ten being provided for in this illustrative construction and the records being supported in a. generally horizontal superimposed relation at one side of the table. When the records have been thus inserted from the side, the memberl will, of course, be:

manually returned to its upright'position.

`In the preferred form, Zhowever, provision is made whereby the records may be inserted/from the top, and the mechanism enabling this to be done is utilized `as a part oi the control mechanism, as hereinafter described. Herein, in inserting a record from the top, onevedge of each rec- 0rd is placed on its proper support 30 and ythe other edge thereof subsequently forced down in such manner as to engage a hooked end or latch 3l on a member 32, disposed next and parallel to the member 14 and pivoted at 33 on that member. This swings the member 31 to the left about its pivot, as shown in Fig. 5 to compress a spring 34 acting between the lower end of the member 32 and a suitable depending extension 35 on the member 15, the spring herein being coiled about a rod 36 pivoted at 37'to the member 32 and suitably connected to the extension 35." Thus theA records may be inserted from the top, and when this occurs the latch 31 is operated by the insertion of each record, the latch being thrown back automatically as each record passes it and automatically returned to its initial position by the spring 34.

Associated with this latch mechanism is irnproved actuating mechanism for a record counting mechanism. Herein, this actuating mechanism includes ajhorizontally disposed member 38 (Fig. 2) carried on the lower end of the member 32. As shown, this member 38 extends to the left from the bottom of the member 32 and is connected thereto between the same and a shorter upstanding supplementary member 39, the upper end of which is connectedto the member 32 by the pivot pin of the connection 37. In this construction, the vertically disposed leit-hand end of a reciprocable counting member lli), disposed beneath the member l5, extends over and rests upon the member 38 between the members 32 and 39 and belowA surfaces 4l andshoulders 42 being provided' in longitudinally spaced relation on the member I40, such an operation is made possible irrespective of Considering next the counting mechanism actu" 'ated by the actuating mechanism thereforr just described, it will also'be noted that the member 40 is bent between on. Herein, this portion is reciprocable through a suitable opening in an upright annular flange 44 on the main frame casting 5 supported on the motor frame 1 and supporting the base 6. Herein, this inner end of the member 40, when reciprocated to the right (Fig. 2) moves into engagement with projections or teeth 46 on` a counting wheel 47 rotatable on a vertical axis on an adjacent surface of the casting 5. Thus, each time that the latch 31 is moved to the left in Fig. 2, the right-hand end of the member 40 is moved to .the right into engagement with ,one of the teeth 46 on the counting member 47 in such manner as to rotate the member 47 one tooth and thus count the record. Further, it will be noted that a coiled spring 43 is connected between that end of the member 40 and the iiange 44 in such manner as automatically to return the member 40 to the retracted position shown in Fig. 1, where--r in it does not interfere with the rotation of the member 47. It will also be noted that a spring pressed ball 49 seated in the casting 5 beneath the counting Wheel 47 is also adapted to be seated successively in corresponding openings 50 in the under side of the counting wheel 47 so as to hold the latter in each position of adjustment thereof, these openings 50 herein being disposed entirely around the under side of the counting wheel.

Associated with the counting wheel is also improved indicating mechanism. Herein this mechanism assumes the form of a dial 51 having a knob 52 and journaled on the top of the base 6, this dial 51 also having a pointer 53 adapted to be moved opposite buttons respectively marked 10 N977, U81), |77 (6,7 57), U31!" H2", (19) and Further,'the dial 51 is pivotally connected at 54 on the under side of the base 6 to a rod 55 which has teeth 56 on its inner edge engaging with cooperating teeth 57 smaller than thek teeth 46, on a smaller mutilated gear 58 coaxial and rotatable with the counting wheel 47 and disposed in a plane above that wheel. Thus, whenever a record is inserted from the top in such manner as to actuate the latch 31 and counting wheel 47, the mutilated gear 58 is actuated to move the member 55 and, through the latters connection with the dial 51, cause the indicator 53 on that dial to move from the inoperative position opposite 0 to one of the numbers 1 to 10 and thus count and indicate the number of records placed in the magazine.

This indicating mechanism also provides improved starting and stopping mechanism for the machine. Herein, it will be noted that it controls a main control wheel or cam'64 which in turn controls the operation of the record releasing, feeding, and other subsequently operated mechanisms hereinafter to be described. More particularly, this member 64 is rotatably mounted on suitable bearings, herein of the ball type, within the casting and between the same and the base 6 on the same axis as the shaft 4 though radially spaced from the latter. It also is provided with gear teeth 65 on its periphery, which in turn mesh with a pinion 66 journaled and reciprocable as hereinafter described on an upright shaft 67 spaced substantially 90 around the member 64 from the-wheel 47 (Figs. 1 and 11) and rotatable (Fig. 3) by means of operatively connected pulleys 68 and 69 from the motor shaft 4. As shown herein, this member 64 also carries on its periphery and inside the outer edge of the teeth 65 an upstandinglug 70 which is adapted to engage a plain or uri-toothed portion haps be said 71 on`the counting wheel 47 whichoverlies the teeth 65. Here, to avoid confusion, it should perthat the particular length' un-tocthed portion 71 of wheel 47 is unimportant and that only ten teeth are necessary. Thus, it will be noted that when the indicator 53 is opposite the button 0, the plain or un-toothed portion 71 ofthe member 47 is engaged by this lug 70 on the control wheel 64, thereby holding the latter against rotation, and since the clutch 118 is engaged, also holding the belt-connector motor against rotation, the parts then occupying the position shown in Figs. 1 and 9. However, when the indicator 53 is moved opposite the button 1 it will be observed that the un-toothed portion 71 is moved out of the path of the lug 70 so that the member 64 may rotate and start the machine in operation.

Considering this mechanism more particularly, it will also be noted that, since one revolution of the main control wheel 64 will advance the member 47 by one tooth, if the indicator 53 is moved opposite number the member 64 will make ten complete revolutions, and with each revolution, through the connecting mechanism, cause the indicator 53 to move progressively downward to 0, the indicator reaching this position simultaneously with the engagement of the un-toothed part 71 with the lug 70. Thus it will be evident that when the mechanism including the dial 51 is moved to any of the positions 1 to 10, the machine controlling member 64 will be started and permitted to operate as many times as is necessary to play, or reproduce, the number of records indicated. Moreover, this member 64 will be stopped automatically as soon as the required number of records has been reproduced or whenever the indicator 53 i s moved to 0, the interruption then occurring as soon as the lug 70 rotates into contact with part 71, i. e. at the end of the playing, or reproduction, of the last record. 'Ihese means, through the improved operating connections described, may also function during the playing of a series of records, as indicating means, showing at a glance at the dial at any time how many more records are to be played or reproduced.

Assuming that the motor 1 is wound and that the parts are in the position shown in Fig. 1, with the cam wheel 64 ready to rotate when the tooth 70 thereon is released, it will be evident that when a record is inserted in the magazine from the top, i. e. by operating the latch 31, the control wheel 64 will begin to rotate so that the various other mechanisms, hereinafter described and operated in timed relation therewith, may also beginto operate to release the record from the magazine, feed the record to the table, cause the reproducer to engage therewith, etc. Thus, it will also be evident that when the motor is wound the machine will be automatically started following the rst operation of the latch 31, i. e. by lthe mere insertion of a record in the machine. It will also continue ,to operate until, depending on the position of the indicator, determined by the number of records in the magazine or the 'adjustment by the operator for a lesser number of records, the untoothed portion again engages the tooth 70. Obviously, when the records are inserted from the side, a manual movement of the indicator will be necessary from the 0 position to a position corresponding to the number of records it is desired to play. v

Considering the various cooperating mechanisms referred to, and first referring to the record of thel the position shown in Fig. l, immediatelyv passes under a roller 73 on thetinner end of a radially extending rocker member 74, herein arched near its inner end and pivoted at 75 on the lcasting and extending radially therefrom. Thus, the outer end of this shaft is lowered, thereby extending a coiled spring 76 connected to the outer end thereof and also pulling down a vertically. extending member 77 which controls the record releasing mechanism. More particularly, it will be noted that the end of the member 74 is pivoted at 78 to the lower end of this member 77, andthat the upper end ofthe member 77 is vertically slidable within the limits of a slot 79 on a pin 80 carried on the outer end o f a shaft 81 carrying the sprocket ll of the chain 10, the

shaft 81 herein being journaled in a suitable tubular member 82, which is in turn supported on a bracket 83 carried on the casing 6 just outside the limits 'of movement of the topmost guide 7 shown in Fig. 1. Moreover, it will be noted that the member 77 is provided on its upper end with vertically spaced lugs 84 and 85 adapted to cooperate` with teeth 86, herein ve in number, on a toothed Wheel 87 rotatable with the sprocket 11, which also has ve teeth. Thus it will be evident that when the cam 72-operates the rocker member 74,

- the member 77 will be pulled downward in such manner as to pull the lug l85 out of the path of one of the teeth 86 and cause the lug 84 to contact with an adjacent tooth 86, and thereby, since both the member 87 and sprocket l1 are provided with the same number of teeth, herein five, enable the sprocket 11A and shaft 81 `,to be rotated in a counter-clockwise direction by the weight of the record or records through a distance equivalent to one tooth. Hence, the bottom record support 30 of the chain will move downward to effect the separation of the bottommost record which is supportedA at opposite edges on the bottommost laterally projecting support 30 on the chain 10 and on the top of the member 13. Obviously, after the member 73 has passed over the cam 72, the spring 76 will also return the member 77 to its initial position ready to discharge another record when the.,y parts '73 and 72 again engage on the next revolution of the member 6ft. As a result, the totalmovement of the wheel 87 is one tooth.

Upon separation of the bottommost record from the other records in the magazine, the record is fed laterally onto the table 2 by improved lateral feeding mechanism. More particularly, whenl the chain supported edge of the bottommost record is lowered by the lowering of its support 30, it will be evident (Fig. 2)- that that edge of the record will fall toward the table'2 and be pushed down by the next upper support 30 in the event of sticking, in such manner as to cause its opposite rounded edge to pull out laterally from between thetop or supporting part of the rounded supporting surface of member 13 and the next record next above, the downward slope on the surface of member 13 below the top thereof being such as to facilitate this movement while directing the record laterally toward the table. Further, the left-hand side of the record (Fig. 2) will.

strike the upper edge of an upstanding rest 88 in front of the memberr 13, this rest herein being long and narrow, as shown, and formed of yieldrecord will fall upon a pluralityof laterally spaced rubber faced wheels 89 extending up, through suitable longitudinal slots 90 in the base 6.' wheels herein serve to 'feed the record laterally tothe right in Fig. 2 over the table 2 and, in cooperationwith the guide 7, center it on the table centering pin 91. Considering the mechanism more specifically, it will be noted that the wheels 89 are carried on a shaft 92, which is in turn car- These ing or resilient material, as fmexample rubber J or the like, while the right-hand portion of the` ried in brackets 93 pivotally mounted at 94 on the under side and carried by members ".i More'- over, the shaft 92 carries at a point between its ends a coaxial worm gear 95, which in turn constantly engages with a worm 96 carried on a bracket member 97 likewise movable about the axis 94. Further, it will be noted that the worm 96 is carried on one end of a shaft 98, and that this shaft carries on the opposite end thereof a rubber tired wheel 99, while the member 97 carries l a weight 100 normally biasing the wheel 99 against engagement with the table.

Thus, when a record falls on the wheels 89, the weight of the rec'ord causes the latter Wheels to be depressed in such manner as to bring the wheel 99 into engagement with the under side of the rotating table 2 at a point between the pin 91 and the bracket pivot 94. Consequently, the rotation of the table is transmitted to the wheel 99, shaft 98. worm 96, worm gear 95, shaft 92, and wheels 89, in such manner and v'in sucha direction as, due to the engagement of these Wheels with the under side of the record, to cause the record to be fed laterally to the right and over the table by the wheels 89. Furthermore, it will be noted that by making the pin 91 of flexible, or resilient, material it may be made possible for these wheels 89 to continue to push the record across the table using the pin for a support, until the usual hole in the center of the record is above the pin, without damage to the record. Here' it will be noted that the record during this lateral feeding movement is guided by the guides 7. Attention is also directed to the fact that the front edge of the record is held up' by the wheels 89 so that the front edge of the record'clears the pin 91 until it has passed vover it. Further, when the record has place on the table, the same being then out of engagement with the Wheels 100 also lowering the wheel position shown in Fig. 2.

89 and the weight 99 from its driving When the record has beenthus placed in cen tered position upon the table 2, improved reproducer controlling mechanism is next automatically operated. Here it will be understood that the sound box 3 is in the laterally displaced position shown in Figs. 1 and 2 when the record is placed on the table. It will also be noted that the sound box 3 is pivoted at 102 to the swinging sound arm 3a so that the sound box may be raised and lowered about this pivot. A rearwardly extending arm 104 is also provided on the sound box and in turn connected at its outer .end to a vertical link 105, which is in turn also connected to a lever 106 parallel to the member 104 and pivoted at 107 on the frame'and also carrying a roller 108 on its inner end engageable with a raised cam track 109 on themember 64. This track 109 is continuous except for an opening 110, and is outouter end of the side the track 'I2 and near the outer periphery of the member 64. As a result, when the sound arm 3a is swung to the position shown in Fig. 1, the sound box 3-is held in the elevated position shown in full lines in Fig.3 while the cam 109 rotates and until after the record has been deposited on the table. When the record has been deposited upon table 2, the opening in the cam 109 is disposed below the roller 108 and the roller drops into the same thereby causing the outer end of member 106 to be raised which, through connecting linkage with member 104, gently lowers the sound box 3 upon the surface of the record, The sound box 3 is then pushed over the surface of the record into engagement with the nrst or outer'playing or reproducing groove of the record by means of a spring 111, carried on the base 6 and acting on a suitable depending member 112 carried by the arm 3*.

Cooperating with this mechanism is also improved mechanism adapted to control the rotation of the main control `wheel 64. Herein it will be noted that another cam surface 113 is provided on the latter just outside the cam track 109, and that this cam surface 113 is also continuous save for an opening 114 which comes into operative position very shortly after the opening 110. More particularly, this opening 114 then comes under a roller 115 carriedon a rocking member 116 pivoted at 117 on the frame and carrying between the roller and the pivot a reciprocable clutch member 118, rotatable with the pinion 66 on the shaft 67 and adapted to engage when raised, with a cooperating clutcn member 119 secured to shaft 6'? to rotate therewith. In this construction the roller 115 is normally so held up by the cam 113 that the clutch 118, 119 is not permitted to disengage, disengagement only taking place when the roller 115 drops into the opening 114. However, when this occurs, the clutch is disconnected and the rotation of the member 64 is stopped so that the sound box 3 may operate to reproduce the record in a usual manner, the

,sound arm 3a swinging about its axis during this operation.

Cooperating with the mechanism is also improved mechanism controlled by movement of the sound arm for again connecting the clutch after the record has been reproduced. More specifically, it will be noted that as this rocking member 116 is moved about its pivot 117, the outer end thereof is raised, and that this outer end carries an inclined. member 120 connected to a part of the frame by a spring 121 and disposed in the path of` the pin or arm 29. Thus,

when the record has been reproduced, the pin 29. striking this inclined surface, acts to depress the member 116 and accordingly raise its inner end and reconnect the clutch 118, 119, whereby member 64 will start rotating, and at the same time roller 115 will be raised out of the opening 114 in the cam 113.

Here, improved mechanism is also provided to return the sound arm 3' and sound box 3 from the lowered innermost position thereof occupied when the record is finished to the raised laterally swung starting position thereof indicated in full lines in Fig. 1.` The raising of the sound box 3 is effected by the cam 109 and the connected linkage, the inner end of the arm 106 being raised shortly after the member 64 resumes its rotation and through the linkage pulling down the member 104 to raise the sound box from the record. Further, it will be noted that a depending arm 122 under the pivot of the member 106 is pivotally connected at 123 to an outwardly extending link 124, which is in turn connected through a coiled spring 125 to the lower end of the depending member 112 on the sound arm 3*. Thus, after the sound box 3 has been raised, the whole arm 3* is swung from its innermost position, occupied when the record is completed, to its outermost positionl shown in Fig. 1, ready to play a new record, the amount of swing being determined by the size of the record, as heretofore described.

Cooperating with this mechanism, and likewise actuated from the member 64, when again set in motion, is improved mechanism for discharging the record. Herein it will be noted that the member 64 carries still another cam track 130 inside the cam track 109 and between the same and the cam track '72, this track 130 being substantially longer than the track 'l2 but shorter than the other tracks. When the record has been reproduced and after the sound box has been raised, the mechanism is so timed as to bring this cam track under a roller 131, substantially diametrically opposite the roller 108 and pivoted on a rocker member' 132, which is in turn pivoted at 133 on a depending portion on the base 6. This rocker member 132 herein also carries at a point between its ends an upstanding member 134 carrying a roller 135, the construction being such that when the member 132 is rocked the roller 135 is raised into engagement with the edge of the record which protrudes laterally beyond the table. As a result, the roller 135 lifts up this edge of the rotating record from.the table 2 in such manner as to cause the record to clear the centering pin 91, as shown in Fig. 3, while still being supported at its opposite side on the rotating table. Because of the rotation of the table, the record is accordingly fed forward, or to the right in Fig. 1, and ofil of the table while the table keeps the record spinning. Further, it will be noted that this elevation of one side of the record causes it to clear an abutment 101, which is located on the elevated side of the record, and thatthe rotating table further causes the record to be discharged while spinning against the vertical portion. of the adjacent guide 'I and a suitable padded abutment 136 spaced from the abutment 101 and on the far side of a record discharge chute '137. Striking this abutment 136, the outward movement of the record is stopped, and the outer end of the same then drops down into a suitable record compartment 138, following a suitably inclined surface 139 which forms a chute leadingit away to a suitable receptacle.

Should it be desired to discontinue the playing of any record, improved mechanism is provided whereby this may be done. This mechanism herein assumes the form of a rejector button 143 operable from the top of the base 6 at a point adjacent the sound arm and depressible through the base into engagement with the rocking lever 116, a suitable extension 144 being provided on the rock lever so that the latter may be moved about its pivot whenever the button is depresed. Thus the roller 115 may be raised out of engagement with the opening 114 in the cam 113 and thereby, through starting the member 64 prior to the completion of the record, cause the automatic mechanism heretofore described to operate to discharge the selected record. 'I'his mechanism may obviously be operated during the playing of any record.

Attention is also directed to the fact that improved mechanism is also provided whereby, even if the indicator 53 is moved from 0 opposite tion.

f Leraars() one ofthe numbers 1 to 10" when no records are in the machine, the machine will. automatically be returned to starting position so that it is always ready for operation. More particularly, it will be noted that-when the machine is thus improperly startedfwithout any record-therein. the sound box 3, instead ofcoming into engagement with the outer edge of a record, ls enabled to drop down below the surface of the turntable, as shown in dotted lines in Fig.'3. This brings a lug 145 carried on the arm 106 into contact with the under surface of the arm 116 in such manner as to hold that arm up and thereby hold the clutch 118, 119 engaged by the weight of the connected reproducer mechanism. Hence, with the `parts held in this position when the roller 115 passes over the openingvlli in the cam track 113, the clutch will not. be disengaged as heretofore in such manner as to discontinue the rotation of the member 64, and the latter will accordingly be enabledto continue to rotate, this rotation being similarly continued a sufficient number oi' times to bring the mechanism back to its 0 posi- Obviously, after the first record has been thus discharged, the mechanism will be free automatically to release and feed another record to the table and reproduce the same and as many other records as may be in the magazine, all of the mechanisms beingk thereafter controlled and operated in the desired sequence heretofore described. In practice the mechanism is so timed that the whole sequence oi operations including the discharge of one record and the substitution of another is so expeditiously carried out that there is .an interval of only approximately forty seconds between the completion of one record and the beginning of another. More particularly, it will be noted that the main control member 64 is so arranged that it makes a complete revolution during this interval, and during this revolution automatically operates the various mechanisms in the desired sequence.

Considering the operation more specifically, it will be evident that by a suitable adjustment of the indicator 20 the machine may /be adapted to use for records of diiferent size. If desired, the machine may then be used as a single record phonograph, i. e. one adapted to play and discharge a single record. To accomplish this, the selected record may be placed in the machine by merely placing it in the magazine from the top, in which case the machine is started automatically and continues to operate to reproduce and discharge the record, the indicator then coming back to 0. The record may also .be inserted from the side, or even placed manually directly on the table, as in -an ordinary single record, non-automatic machine. In either case, the indicator 53 is thereafter manually moved from 0 into position 1, whereupon the record will be automatically played and discharged and the machine automatically stopped, ready for another record. However the record reaches the table, the lug is so located that the machine always stops with the reproducer laterally swung and elevated and all the mechanism again in starting position,

case, moreover, the indicator may, obviously be adjusted. if desired, at any time in such manner as to call for the reproduction of only the bottommost record or any number less than the whole number of records then-in the magazine. If with the-indicator opposite any selected number determined by the counting mechanism or the operator, the automatic mechanism is continued upon the reproduction of a series of records, it will obviously continue to function automatically, first to release the record from the magazine, then to feed it laterally onto the table and center it, then to move the sound box down onto the record, and then, after the reproduction of the record, to move the sound box back to starting position and discharge the record, whereupon the whole sequence of operations will begin over again and be repeated as many times as the position ofthe starting dial calls for, while the machine when it stops will always be ready for operation. If at any time the operator wishes to stop the machine, turning the indicator to 0 will cause this to occur after the reproduction of the record then being reproduced is completed. At any time during the reproduction of any given record, if Athe operator wishes, the reproduction of thatrecord may also be discontinued at once by simply depressing the rejector 143, whereupon the record then being played is discharged and the mecha-v nism proceeds to the reproduction of the next record, unless stopped by swinging the indicator to 0. Attention is also directed to the fact that additional records may be placed in the maga- `zine while the machine is operating, and that the machine will continue to operate until the last of these is played, the mechanism being adjusted by the member 51 after the records are inserted from the side and 'being automatically adjusted by the member 3l during the insertion of records from the top. Obviously, with either type of insertion, automatic reproduction may be continued indefinitely as the magazine is emptied and refilled, without requiring any further attention on the part of the operator than the insertion of the records from the side and the adjustment of the member 51, or in the case of insertion from the top, the mere insertion of the records. The automatic return of the several parts to starting position after each predetermined operation also insures that the mechanism is ready to be restarted upon the insertion of another record. Moreover, it will be evident that` if desired records may be removed from the magazine or changed in position therein while the machine is operating and without disturbing the operation of the latter, these removals or changes being readily effected from the side of the magazine. 'When a record is thus removed from one of the supports 30 in such manner as to provide a gap in the records in the magazine, it will also be noted'that the mechanism continues to operate -automatically in such manner that the automatic reproduction of the record on the next higher support 30 above the gap is not only effected but expedited in such manner as .to shorten the silent period between the reproduction of the records before and after the gap. More particularly, the movement of the reproducer below the table when there is no record on the latter, results in maintaining the con- `it to operate automatically on records of either diameter, all of the various mechanisms and their controlling means being suitably adjusted by the adjustment of a single controlling means, which herein is manually adjustable.

As a result of my invention it will also be noted that the mechanism provided is exceedingly flexible s that it is adapted not only to meet the demand for an ordinary single record phonograph provided with automatic discharging and stopping mechanism, but also to enable great simplicity in operation and great flexibility of control when used as an automatic machine. Further, it will be observed that the mechanisms are such that the device is substantially fool-proof,

' diiliculties ordinarily arising from tampering with the machine or improper operation thereof being in larg'e part obviated.' Attention is also directed to the automatic starting feature and to the concentration of the control in the two control dials and rejector member. The improved starting and stopping and indicating mechanism particularly provides an exceedingly convenient and satisfactory control means giving'great flexibility of control at the same time that through its connections it prevents damage to the machine through improper operation. It will also be noted that the mechanism itself is of an exceedingly simple character and of a type enabling the lwhole machine to be produced very economically. These and other advantages of my improved construction will, however, be clearly apparent to those skilled in the art.

While I have in this application specifically described one embodiment which my invention may assume in practice, it will be understood that the same may be modified and embodied in various other formswithout departing from its spirit or the scope of the appended claims.
